Germania Society's Christkindlmarkt is this weekend

The Germania Society of Cincinnati's Christkindlmarkt kicks off this weekend at Germania Park.

Deemed 'Cincinnati's most authentic', the annual event features German music, foods, hot mulled wine, carriage rides, St. Nikolaus and Santa Claus, cookies, pastries, ornaments, and of course, German beers.

There's even a Children's Lantern Parade on Saturday led St. Martin and our own Katy Morgan! All kids are welcome to participate in the parade. Kids will meet at the Germania Clubhaus beginning at 6:30 p.m. to learn traditional lantern songs followed by the parade at 7:00.

Parking is free for Christkindlemarkt, and admission is just $3. Germania Park is located at 3529 W. Kemper Road in Colerain.
